Dear mum and dad,
I’m writing to you because I want tell you what I’m doing in these days in London.
The first day we arrived at the college and the students was very nice. In the afternoon our teachers took us to the London Eye, there was a very long row but from the top of the wheel there is a beautiful view, then we went to Madame Tussoud’s we saw waxworks of the most important people like the Queen, David and Victoria Beckham and other important historical people. Then we came back to the college and we had a rest. The second day in the morning we had six hours of school and in the afternoon we went to Buckingham Palace to see the Changing of the Guard and to go inside the residence of the Queen. The tour was amazing and do you know Buckingham Palace has got 600 rooms? Then we went to the Tower of London when you can see the Crown Jewels, they are very beautiful and I have never see all those jewels in the same room! In the evening we stayed in the college with the other students and I went to sleep very early! The third morning I woke up very early because we went in a trip to the British Museum. It is very big and contains about 7.5 millions of objects but in a one day you can only see a small part of it. I liked it very much, before came back to the college we visited St. Paul’s Cathedral: it’s a huge church that dominates London’s skyline, you can reach the top of the dome with 350 steps from there you can have wonderful views. In the evening after the hard day we had dinner in a restaurant and then we came back to the college. Today is the fourth day we passing in London and I woke up later than the other days because today we are having a relaxing day, in fact we are going to Harrods for shopping: it is a world famous department store with 330 different departements, it’s very huge! And in the afternoon we are going to Camden Market, there I can find beautiful second-hand clothes. In the evening we are going to Planet Hollywood, there you can have a great meal and watch famous film clips on a big screen at the same time! This will be an amazing day. But tomorrow it’s the fifth and the last day of our trip and in the morning we are having our last day of school in the college. In the afternoon we are visiting Hyde Park where you can riding or rowing and Regents Park where you can visit London Zoo. In the evening we are having our last dinner in a local restaurant and then we are going sleep very early because the next morning we must go to the airport. I enjoyed very much this experience and I’m sad if I think that tomorrow is my last day in this wonderful city, and I don’t want leave my new friends.
Now I must go,
I miss you a lot!
Love, Sofia
P.S. See you soon!
